I am a teacher, a technology integrator, Google Certified Trainer and an avid golfer if not a good one. My true passion is helping teachers use technology to improve their students' learning.

I have been working in professional development for over 20 years, and I've seen firsthand how technology can transform the classroom. I've worked hard during the recent challenging times to help teacher comfortably and  effectively navigate the "Covid classroom" in it's many forms. I have dedicated my career to helping teachers bridge the gap between technology and pedagogy.

I have presented at  NYSCATE and local educational conferences, and I've vlogged extensively on the topic of technology integration. 

In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf, gaming, watching movies (sci-fi and action) and reading (also sci-fi).

As I approach retirement from public schools instructional technology, I'm hoping to secure my dream retirement job—to assist educational technology vendors at professional conferences through marketing training. This transition marks a new and exciting chapter in my journey.  I recently asked ChatGPT to describe this job and it was pretty darn accurate.
